Figure 1 Relation of depression remission status and raised C reactive protein (CRP) concentrations three months after an acute coronary syndrome event. The grey area indicates raised CRP concentrations (> 3 mg/l) and the white area, not raised CRP concentrations (⩽ 3 mg/l). p  =  0.002 for comparison between persistently depressed and persistently non‐depressed patients; p  =  0.08 for comparison between persistently non‐depressed and remittently depressed patients.
